| Marine Audio Gear – More than Just a Color Difference |
| Yes, marine gear tends to be white and/or silver compared to the darker, black products you'd see in your car. But there's a LOT more going on under the surface that you might not know. |
| The elements can be tougher than you think on electronic audio systems. |
|
 |
| Understanding the marine-grade designation |
| First, "marine-grade" does not necessarily
mean waterproof (see IP Rating below). These products are manufactured to withstand elements within marine environments – water splashes or rain, strong winds, and saltwater corrosion – and function long term in those conditions. |

|
| What do IP ratings mean & are they important? |
IP ("Ingress Protection") ratings define levels of sealing effectiveness against foreign bodies like dirt and moisture, indicating which products are best for different purposes.
So yes, important.
|
| The first digit after the "P" indicates solid body protection, and the second digit moisture protection. For example, a speaker rated IPX5 is water-resistant only, but an IP65 speaker is both water-resistant and dust-proof. |
